On Tuesday evening, the Philadelphia 76ers got back in the win column with a home win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The story of this game was point guard Cameron Payne, who scored 32 points on an astonishing 8-8 shot from beyond the three-point line, giving the 76ers a huge boost after recently signing there.

Unfortunately, Payne’s night, and everything that happened in the NBA on Tuesday, was overshadowed by Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo’s historic 83-point explosion in a blowout win over the Washington Wizards.

However, that wasn’t going to stop Payne from feeling himself after his historic game against Memphis.

“To be honest, I was worried about Cam Payne,” Cam Payne said to the ex, formerly of PhillyVoice, on Twitter, according to Adam Aronson. “Bombs can’t take over my night… March 10th, it’s all me.”

The Grizzlies controlled the game for most of the night before turning out their starters in a blatant tanking effort in the fourth quarter, after which Philadelphia immediately responded with a 20–2 run.

The 76ers learned earlier in the day that star guard Tyrese Maxey will be out of the lineup for at least three weeks after injuring his hand in a recent road loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Philadelphia has been declining in the rankings due to injury absences in recent weeks, with the team being overtaken by the Heat and falling into the play-in region as the season approaches its home stretch.

The 76ers will be desperately hoping that Joel Embiid will be able to return from injury at some point in the near future, and are also counting down the days until Paul George’s suspension ends.

In any case, the 76ers will next take the field on Thursday evening for a tough road game against the Detroit Pistons.

While some people are upset with Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo’s 83-point game, New York Knicks superfan Ben Stiller celebrated it by giving a shout-out to Cam Payne.

During the game, Stiller reacted to Adebayo’s play by reposting Jalen Brunson’s reaction, simply writing, “Bro what.”

However, after the game, he thanked former Knicks and current Philadelphia 76ers guard Payne, who also had a great night on March 10. He scored 32 points with 10 assists and three rebounds. Payne made nine of his 10 shots and was perfect from downtown.

Stiller didn’t want his accomplishment to go unnoticed, so he responded to a post with his stats, writing, “In other news… go on cam,” along with an admiring hand emoji.

Bam Adebayo has 83-point game in Heat’s blowout win over Washington Wizards

On Tuesday, March 10, 2026, Adebayo had a career day when he scored 83 points. The Heat defeated the Washington Wizards 150–129.

The game was never really close. Miami led 40–29 after the first quarter and they led 76–62 at halftime. Despite the lead always being large, Adebayo continued to score.

His 83 points came after shooting 43 free throws, 36 of which were made. He also shot 20-43 from the floor, including 7-22 from behind the three-point line. Additionally, Adebayo had nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks. While the scoring was high, he also had five turnovers.

This game raised Adebayo’s average. He now has averages of 20 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. This is just shy of his career best in points (following the 2022–23 season, during which he averaged 20.4 points per game).

Adebayo is a former first round pick by the Heat in the 2017 NBA draft out of Kentucky. Throughout his career, he has been named to three NBA All-Star teams. In 2024, he was named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team. He has also been named to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team four times (from 2020 to 2023).

Highlighted by Bam Adebaya’s 83-point loss on the Washington Wizards the night before and Max Crosby’s trade from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Baltimore Ravens, the Philadelphia 76ers had a very exciting turn of events with none other than the recently added Cam Payne leading the team to a 139-129 win over the Minnesota Grizzlies.

Now granted, the Grizzlies are a 23-win team and didn’t play their only remaining Big 3 star, Ja Morant, against Nick Nurse’s team, but in this day and age, any 76ers win is tough to come by, especially in a game without Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey.

Fortunately, VJ Edgecombe was able to return from the injury suffered against Spurs earlier this month and he started the game alongside Quentin Grimes, Kelly Oubre, Adem Bona and Dominic Barlow and played 35 minutes in their victorious return.

After seeing the 76ers struggle to get much production from their non-star starters for most of the season, four of Philadelphia’s starters scored in double figures, with Barlow leading all starters with 11, Edgecombe with 21, Grimes with 23 and Oubre with 30 points. However, Oubre didn’t lead all 76ers in points, as in an absolute heater of a performance, Payne went on a nuclear attack off the bench, scoring 32 points in 30 minutes, while making all eight of his 3 pointers, all six of his free throws, and nine of his 10 shots from the field on his way to 30 apiece.

And the best part? Payne was not only slinging the ball, but sharing the love with his teammates, spending 10 dimes to record a double-double at +/= of +22.

Have the 76ers finally found a more team-friendly offensive approach where everyone eats? Does Maxi really bounce the ball that much, as many of his haters have claimed? After all, Payne isn’t going to do it shoot 8-8 from beyond the arc Every game, so it’s hard to say, but in this game, he certainly looked impressive, and was the kind of microwave bench scorer who can give the 76ers buckets with Jabari Walker in reserve.

Cam Payne can’t be stopped😤

8 out of 8 32 points on 3pts!
